Title: Let's hold a funeral for this board
Post by: Fresh Prince on December 07, 2010, 06:12:09 PM
It was a failed rebellion in many ways but there were some decent laughs. Green Shinobi RIP.
I'd like to think that were some cases of rare insight on this board but yeah no.

The things we shared most was hate. Hate brings people together but love keeps people together. And that is why this board failed  :'(

We're just too hateful and repellent for our own goddamn good.

That aside, I think it's odd that we get so few new members (like, none) when GAF's moderation is more overbearing than ever and posting standards are at an all-time low, which is inarguably what most of our current membership is a reaction to.  When we do get a member, they're usually pretty awesome too, like Shah Rukh Khan, who will probably never be heard from again as soon as his ban is up. 

GAF as a news aggregate > evilbore as a dick joke aggregate, seems so.

The random talk thread has only been there since April.  It doesn't explain the downward trend prior, or the dropoff of overall posts.

I think it's probably because we run off all the drama queens, then the people who chased them away run off themselves when there's no more internet injustice to be dealt with.

And the fact that we get so few new members.

The random talk thread was way before april. we've had one for at least a year. that is the second random talk thread.

throw in the inclusion of random gaming thread for random gaming news that deserves no new thread, and the what are you playing thread, which means less people have a need to make dedicated threads to certain games, and you have your answer.

You mean people would ignore it just like they ignored his post in Random Gaming? I don't see the difference.

Maybe the 0-replies thread will teach him not to share something nobody on this board cares about. On the other hand, if theres at least one person that does, who ends up replying, then it'd be worth considering the user-base's size. Nothing wrong with that.

if eb were a huge forum i'd agree but its not and threads like random gaming are things that only smaller forums can pull off. there are so few posters that you can catch up on the days game news in just a few minutes rather than risk being dropped off the first page and have to search with ebs crappy search. keeping it to one thread is just BETTER.
Title: Re: Let's hold a funeral for this board
Post by: Shaka Khan on December 07, 2010, 09:26:39 PM
Bottom line is: threads get more exposure than a single post buried in a mega thread, and more often than not lead to a more active discussion regarding the matter.

So what you're trying to say is that creating new threads on such a small forum suffering from low activity is not encouraged, and that having four threads that encompasses a wide variety of interests is better?

 If so then why the fuck is everyone complaining and bringing up statistics and shit? I swear you people whine for the sake of whining.

Also nobody is stopping yall from inviting people. Like how Great Rumbler mentioned he posted on a board of like 5 people. Why waste your time there, bring that content here. Obviously I dont blame that you dont tell IRL people. Even I am afraid to load this site up at work.

There's also those goons at the Wasting Your Life site.

Majority (almost) of the distinguished mentally-challenged fellows have been filtered from this board. All the grumpy old farts have wasted away. Nobody misses them.

It is silly to talk of a board dying when you just post and dont do anything. We do this every month. Yawn.

The outdated board software will get upgraded when 2.0 Gold comes out. A fresh coat of paint wont liven the board up any more than it already is.

I also set up Google to not crawl this site, there is too many incidents of people getting affected IRL. So it is best to take a more closed stance unless I am convinced otherwise.

I have no dog in this hunt but nuking the random gaming thread isn't going to do anything. All you will have is 50,000 threads that cover the front page about stupid shit that die immediately. But if people consider that good talk then so be it.

There are things I like discuss that don't need a new thread to discuss. There are stupid things I like to post that don't need the validation of a new thread. There is never anything stopping anybody from creating a new thread on either side. That random game thread thing was a personal thing I wanted to solve a situation specific to my posting style. But there was never any hard rule like at GAF that certain things should go in there. Create threads to your heart is content. Who is stopping anybody from doing that?

But that's just my two cents. If most people want it to go then remove it I say. Or maybe just rename it to shit talking thread or the pussy posse or the bullshit thread (or anything less official than random gaming thread) if somebody feels that a name is stopping them from creating new threads.

Like I said. I can open it up, but I'd rather everyone be ok with it. Some people do not understand that what you post can come back in your face.

The problem is many of them come to EB and then forget about it.  Like Chespace for example.  I wished that he'd post here after being GAF banned but I guess there just aren't enough people for him to troll.

I read everything here of interest. That is why you don't see me post in threads like the movie one, anime, tv, and manage to avoid random drunk ones. Mainly cause I'd rather not post then troll.

I don't know why, but EB is the first thing I read with my first sip of coffee in the morning. Gaf has something to do with it since I learned about this place while waiting to be activated there.
Title: Re: Let's hold a funeral for this board
Post by: Stoney Mason on December 07, 2010, 11:05:18 PM
I guess I've just never viewed volume as any indication of worthwhile talk. And I'm too old for forum drama so none of that stuff interests me although it seems to interest others. EB is like a retirement home. People here post but its not their lives. I kinda like that but that's just my style.

People who post at GAF post there because of all the posters and all the bullshit. As much as they bitch about it, that's why they are there. For instance when you see people get temp banned over at GAF. Then come over here and bitch about it. And then immediately disappear once their temp ban is over. I did the same a few times. That's just the way it is.

At a certain point most of us either retire from GAF because we are truly fed up with it or get permabanned, or reduce our post count in general. And I think that's kinda healthy. Perhaps I'm just a crabby old asshole though.

I don't know anyone IRL who would be interested in posting here, and the pretend people I know on the internet already know about it.

Friendly advice, though:  When new people do show up you guys tend to jump all over them like a pack of dogs.  "WHO ARE YOU ARE YOU GREEN SHINOBI WHY ARE YOU HERE FUCK YOU SHOW US YOUR TITTIES OR DICK OR DICKTITTIES FUCK YOUR POOR TASTE IN EVERYTHING I HATE"

And then every few months we have a whine thread asking why no one sticks around.

*connection made*

Take that as you will, I don't really give a shit either way. But this cycle seems to be endless, talking shit all the time and then pooching your lips out when people stop hanging out with you.

This.

I guess what I'm saying is it's not surprising that crabby assholes tend to attract other crabby assholes and repulse the "normals" a bit. Either accept being a crabby asshole (I fully admit I'm one) and be happy with it or change. Either path is cool but don't do one and then expect the other.

I like nearly everyone here. I genuinely respect most people's opinions here even if they are different to mine. Most people are mature here and the ones who aren't tend to only not be for contrarion's sake. This place broke me of my GAF habit so I'll always think it rocks myself.

To be honest you have been better recently. Even in that GT thread, its like your heart wasn't in it. Triple A had to lead the charge. I actually noticed your improvement.

I don't post much (some most consider that a good thing!) because I care more about reading than participating.

I think the board will be gone within three years but it doesn't mean I hate it.  I came in initially because there was a lot of movement but with people who I recognized from the earlier days of GAF (2002-2006).  I always thought this place was like the GAF of old, for better or worse, when manchildren and asspies were ridiculed rather than coddled.  I will admit that the board has become so slow that I've started posting at GAF again.

You won't get many new people because the key source of new members here is GAF.  If they're good enough, they usually find their way on here or at least are aware of this place.  So at this point, you're not going to get much.  With things going on in people's lives, it is inevitable that some are going to stop posting, become more erratic in their posting consistency, etc.  Whether that is a good thing or bad thing I guess is up to each person.  I think the only reason why the board can be so negative is that, again comparing to GAF, negativity with explanation is vastly superior to mindless positivity for the sake of community togetherness.  Which is why most GAF megathreads are obnoxious reads.  An internet message board should not exist solely for your opinions to be coddled and validated.  This isn't elementary school where you are called a special snowflake and you get an award just for participating.

I liked the community when I registered and if I'm really bored, then I just read old threads or read post histories of people I like from that time period.  Some of the shit there still cracks me up three years later.  There are some great things still being made today ( :bow Borecast/Cruncheons :bow2) on the board.

So just feed that as much as possible, by finding bullshitters and invite them rather than durr I'll invite the guy on GAF that posts a fuck ton, if they post a fuck ton there chances are its for attention and effect, its not going to draw over to a smaller forum.
Take that Shanadaneus guy on GAF is a perfect example of who would not be suited to this kind of forum; a whiney voice in the crowd shouting for attention. Someone like say Anihawk or Grand Jedi would be someone who would improve the boards community.

Find people who have conversations rather than want their voice to be heard in the crowd bullshit you see over on GAF

Take that Shanadaneus guy on GAF is a perfect example of who would not be suited to this kind of forum; a whiney voice in the crowd shouting for attention. Someone like say Anihawk or Grand Jedi would be someone who would improve the boards community.

Find people who have conversations rather than want their voice to be heard in the crowd bullshit you see over on GAF
But thats just what I think


Some of the GAFfers I wouldn't mind seeing post here are Boney, A Black Falcon, Gravijah, and the retired Aeana and Ethelred. They'd add some good discussion on the gaming board. And as for OT, I remember inviting AlternativeUlster, for some reason I really dig the guy's sense of humor, but he didn't really seem too interested in joining. Also, Vinci, jon bones, Combine, Shaneus (not to be confused with Shanadeus!), okno and joelseph (for the latter 3 that's b/c I want some more people to bullshit about EDM with :P)

Also maybe I am confused, but isn't EmceeGrammar = Crushed? I think I remember hearing that once and it made some kind of sense to me.

I think Aeana registered here at one point but it's not hard to see why she didn't stick around.  This place is a really bad fit for anyone who wants to seriously discuss games, because it's comedy hour 24/7 around here.

Which is fine and definitely gives the place its own character, but you aren't going to get people like Ethelred and Aeana here because of that.
We have plenty of gaming discussions.

Just look at demi's achievements. Pure gaming discussions.

Well, it doesn't help the board's case that some of the more prominent members here prefer to instantly lash out at thread starters because the discussion that is being generated revolves around a topic these same individuals deem to be "lame."

You start a Wii thread, regardless of how informative and objective the original post might be, and you'll be on the receiving end of a bunch of knee-jerk, hope-my-jerk-off-friends-find-my-reply-funny-and-this-guy-goes-away backhanded remarks. This isn't exclusive only to the Wii and its games, but other consoles and games the Bore Circle Jerk Collective have unanimously voted against, for one reason or another. How is a new visitor, lurker, or potential new member supposed to interpret such reactions, and how are you going to entice that new person to become a proactive member in light of that? They won't even bother.

I know, because I used to run a forum about this size (500-700 posts a day), and it developed under the same circumstances as this one. A bunch of us left a supposedly authoritative community and created a new one under the common flag of hatred for the old one. It was very active and very promising initially, and I thought it would last that way, but it didn't. The "regulars" of the new forum felt that the community was their fucking playground and they could openly and collectively gang-rape anyone that challenged their authority. New members were simply too hesitant to involve themselves in the community, much less post new threads, and I witnessed the community shrinking every year - even the founding members were getting bored because of the lack of new discussion and new blood (ironic, since they took such pleasure deriding them whenever they stuck their heads out).

It got to the point where the forum experienced only 2-3 posts a day. I tried to jump start the place by remodeling the forum's membership policy, but by then it was too late. I simply didn't have the energy nor the time to start from scratch, and it's much harder to start a community from the ground up.

Unfortunately, those signs leading to the collapse of my old board seem prevalent here. Yeah, some of the members will stick around, defend the place, and say they'll stick around and do X-Y-Z to guarantee it lives on, but it's all BS. These members are like sluts: they'll say they love you and whisper sweet nothings into your ear, only to have their cunts stuffed hours later when you're not around by the stud next door with the horse cock.

I suspect all of this will be ignored or find itself the recipient of a classic Bore attack, but I couldn't care less. I consider this post to be my most meaningful and genuine contribution to the community and its leaders, and I really don't care how it'll be received.

Again an internet forum shouldn't coddle opinions and treat everyone like special snowflakes.

If you like a Wii game, give the reasons why you like it.  Don't just post a twee post about how whimsical the latest Kirby game is and expect not to get some negative responses.  I think the board will at least leave you alone if you objectively explain why you like a Nintendo game.  Nostalgia, twee feelings, blind brand name worship, and beta male mewling will just get you ridiculed.

If people don't like the game, it isn't like GAF where you are a brand warrior who must convince people otherwise.  It's their opinion.  The biggest beef I have with the gaming side at GAF: people feel the need to feel attached to name brands.  I feel it is the other way around: companies need to prove themselves to me why I should invest money in their product.

Also LOL at suggesting Anihawk.  He is one of the biggest reasons I stopped participating in the gaming side of GAF.  grandjedi6 would be a good guy but I imagine someone at this point invited him over here.  Andrex is a babe in the woods and a manchild in the making.  When the cold hard hand of reality slaps him across the face in a few more years, I fully expect him to have a mental breakdown or devolve into furrydom.
